Síndrome complexa de dor regional de tipo I do membro superior tratamento baseado no estresse muscular de tração e compressão ativa - um estudo de caso

Abstract

The painful state is a warning signal from the body that something is not right, but when this condition becomes chronic, it ends up influencing the daily life of the subject, keeping the patient away from its social, family, psychological, professional and spiritual routine. That being considered, the aim of this study is to present the contributions of Occupational Therapy and the Rehabilitation Program Based on Traction Muscle Stress and Active Compression for a subject with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type I (CRPS I) in the upper limbs, treated by the Group of Pain from the University Hospital of Santa Maria (HUSM), RS. The evaluations used for data collection were the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), goniometry, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Thus, this study discusses the functional changes that Complex Regional Pain Syndrome causes in subject’s life, as well as the benefits of the rehabilitation program based on traction muscle stress and active compression for individuals affected by this syndrome.
